Biltmore Family Vacation

Well, we officially survived our first family vacation!! Yay! We took a few days and went up to Asheville, NC to see the Biltmore Estate. Liam did AMAZING in the car, we couldn't had asked for a better ride. It is hilarious the amount of stuff you have to pack when you leave the house with an infant. I honestly couldn't believe it myself. Nick kept saying..."are you sure we need to bring that" as I was packing practically everything the poor child owns. We ended up visiting during the spring flower festival at Biltmore which was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I haven't seen that many tulips in my life. Liam did great as long as he was in his stroller, however there are parts of the house that are not accessible with the stroller and we had to carry him in the baby carrier, he was not too big of a fan of that, so we did have a crying baby at times. But, overall I think that he did great!! It was a beautiful time of year and we had a perfect day to spend at the Estate. One thing that we did determine after staying in our hotel room for two nights was that we definitely need a king size bed! I was told that when we have children not to buy a crib, just invest in a king size bed, because that is where they will end up sleeping anyway. Now I believe that is a pretty good idea! Well, enjoy some of the pictures from our trip!! ;-)

Liam's First Easter!!

Liam's first Easter was just perfect. We had a wonderful time worshiping our Lord and had a great day spending time with family! It doesn't get much better than that! Nick had to play in the worship band all 4 services at our church, so Liam and I got up early and surprised Grandma and Grandpa at their church Sunday morning! They were happy to see us there, and excited to have the opportunity to show off their grandson a little bit! After that we made our way over to 12Stone to worship with our church family. We finished up the evening at our house with food and family, it was great!

My Little Easter Bunny

Well, by now I am sure you know to expect silly pictures for every holiday, so I did not want to let you down!! Enjoy!! You will notice that in some of the pictures there is grass, and most there is not. Well, notice the look on Liam's face in the one where I have him sitting in the grass... it is too funny! And, of corse, he tried to eat it, so that is no good either.
